One year after epic Week 17 celebration, Bills’ locker room scene will be muted Sunday
‘It will be a bit different at the conclusion of Sunday’s season finale against those same Dolphins, this time at New Era Field. Both the Bills (5-10) and Dolphins (7-8) are out of the playoff chase and are playing out the schedule, so there won’t be anyone partying when the final gun sounds.’

Dolphins at Bills: Sal’s keys, notes and stats
‘Williams will retire. But there are plenty of questions surrounding other players’ futures, as well. Running back LeSean McCoy has had a very frustrating an mostly unproductive season. The team may choose to move on from him this offseason. Linebacker Lorenzo Alexander, also a 35-year old, thirteen-year veteran, has indicated he’d like to continue playing, but needs to sit down with his family to discuss that. He’s also an unrestricted free agent in March. Tight end Charles Clay was a healthy scratch last week and could be a salary cap casualty. Other players, such as defensive tackle Jordan Phillips, guard John Miller, and tackle Jordan Mills will also be unrestricted free agents this offseason.’

Top 5 reasons why Buffalo’s 2018 season finale will be special for fans
‘Get your tissues ready, Bills fans. It’s the end of an era in Orchard Park. Longtime defensive tackle Kyle Williams, one of the most beloved players to ever wear a Bills uniform, is officially calling it a career after 13 remarkable years. A five-time Pro Bowler, Williams has wowed fans for years with his unwavering effort and dedication to the team and to the city, and fans will have one last chance to see No. 95 do what he does best this Sunday. To celebrate his legacy, fans attending the game can pick up a copy of the Bills Game Day program, which contains a keepsake poster of him (limited quantities available). Additionally, the 50-50 will be selling 95 tickets for $20.’
Fan Mailbag: Eagerly anticipating the offseason
‘This is a top heavy defensive draft. Some early projections only have seven or eight offensive players coming off the board in round one total. It’s an indication that the defensive talent is far and away superior to some of the best offensive talent this draft class has to offer.’
Bills Today: Kyle Williams will receive this special recognition today
‘The county’s decision to grant Williams his own day only reaffirms the impact he’s made in Western New York over the past 13 years. Hundreds of players have donned the Buffalo red, white, and blue over the past several years, but only a select few have ingrained themselves in the community, have adopted Buffalo as their own home.’
Current, former teammates rave about Kyle Williams’ sterling 13-year career
‘”The guy as a teammate was second to none,” former Bills defensive end Chris Kelsay said in a phone interview with The Buffalo News on Friday night. “He played his entire 13-year career in one place and he played at an extremely high level. A level that was unmatched many of those seasons. To be a teammate of his for a few of them was an honor. Some of my fondest memories of being a Buffalo Bill was lining up next to him. Very close teammate, very close friend and will be forever. My hat’s off to him, because he had a hell of a career.”’
Vic Carucci: Bills lose their ‘rock’ with Kyle Williams’ retirement
‘”I think one of my biggest fears has always been if I came back just to come back and play a year, and if I weren’t able to hold up my end of the bargain,” Williams said. “I’ve set a standard for myself, the way I want to compete, how productive I want to be, and if I were out there, dragging a leg around and not productive and obviously being an anchor to our team, I don’t know that emotionally and in my mind I could handle that.”‘
What Kyle Williams said about his retirement
‘”A singular word sticks out when I look back on my NFL career. Grateful. To have spent so much time with one team. To have had the opportunity to get to know this organization, this community, and more importantly, the people. To have raised my family here. To have made countless memories and friendships, on and off the field.’
